Celtics Face Overhaul After Tatum Achilles Injury

News summary

The Boston Celtics face a pivotal offseason after failing to advance past the second round and losing Jayson Tatum to a serious Achilles injury, which will sideline him for much of next season. This development has forced the team to consider significant roster changes to get under the NBA's second tax apron, including the likely trade of veteran guard Jrue Holiday. Trade discussions with teams like the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers are ongoing, with potential returns including Norman Powell or P.J. Washington, though deals may depend on the futures of Kyrie Irving and James Harden. The Celtics' openness to moving key players such as Holiday and possibly Kristaps Porzingis signals a semi-teardown as they recalibrate for the future. Despite these challenges, Boston aims to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference, though serious title contention appears doubtful without Tatum. The offseason strategy is shaped by both financial constraints and the urgent need to reshape the roster.
